I am packing up for my trip to Abilene, Texas to perform tomorrow at their KidzFest. Our flight leaves this afternoon. Aaron and Leah are coming with me, which is unusual. Usually I travel with Renee, she coordinates and manages these outreach events. Renee is on a cruise in the Mediterranean, how sad for her So, Aaron is going to coordinate and manage. Leah is coming along since I broke my arm. I wasn’t sure how well I would be able to sign and figured it would be a safe bet to bring her along. She can sign, obviously, and I figured it would be a good distraction from my right arm, which can’t quite do everything I need it to do. Hope to see you in Abilene! I will also be performing later that day with Dan Zanes and Friends.

I hear there is a billboard in Abilene with my picture on it. I will have to hunt it down and take a picture.

Oh! I have to share because this is so funny! I started physical therapy last week. The PT asked me how many hours I have to work this week and I said, “Well, this week I have to work for 1-2 hours in Texas.” He looked interested and said, “What do you do?” I said, “I have a children’s television show that teaches sign language. It’s called ‘Signing Time!’” His eyes got bigger and he asked, “With Alex and Leah?”
“Yep, that’s it!”
He then continued to tell me how his kids love the show and his brother had a child with a speech delay and it made such a big difference. Then he stopped mid-sentence with a look of dismay and said, “Oh no! Do you know what the worst part is?”
“No… what?”
“I can’t tell anyone that I am working with you!”
(Gotta love that HIPAA!!!)
